This iRobot vacuum commercial is about a month old but upon viewing, courtesy of Texan in Hippieland, we felt the need to ponder iRobot’s apparent fixation with bestiality. Oh sure, the pigs in this ad are supposed to represent the dirty kids running throughout the house and the donkey is supposed to be the woman’s ass of a husband. But, as TIH points out, showing the pigs run up the stairs where the iRobot vacuum clearly can’t follow is not exactly the best illustration of product benefit.
And, the donkey in the bed at the end of the commercial who the site refers to as her “best friend?” What exactly is the message here? A clean house makes time for an afternoon bestiality quickie? Oh yes, it’s all a big metaphor for family life and the put upon mom who has to deal with a house full of dirty animals but that ending is just really weird.
Are we over analyzing?
